Your BENEFITS
I'm here to help!
HIDDEN GEMS
I’ve been around the block a few times and I have mostly seen it all. Inside our courses we give you the resources and tools to kick butt and shine (like a diamond. Insert Rihanna lyrics please). We talk about real-life examples and give you lots of food for thought when it comes to planning weddings—so you won’t be caught off guard. We don’t want you to be just a cog in the wheel of mediocre, we want to empower you to become a leader in the industry.
TEMPLATES GALORE
No need to reinvent the wheel here. I will give you tons of email templates, checklists, and worksheets in every course. Feel free to adjust them to fit your needs (or personality).
LIFE SAVER
Have you ever just felt like you were treading water? Slowly drowning in the coulda, woulda, shoulda? I got your back/life preserver. And remember—you’re not alone. Our super secret Facebook group just might be the place for you to gain ground on your business ideas. At the very least, you could find cool people who are in the same boat as you.
YOUR LIGHTBULB MOMENT
That’s what I’m here for—the moment you clearly see how simple it can be. No drama, no doubting yourself, just practical application with real strategies. Our presentations are broken down into simple, actionable steps so you can build the confidence you need to start wedding planning today.
Hey you! I'm Valerie

It’s chalked full of the important/basic information to run a wedding planner business the right way. This course could literally shave off months of hard knocks and industry frustrations. You don’t have to figure it out alone and on your own. I’m here, your personal cheerleader!
The Fan Club
Working for Valerie has been such a great learning experience. I was able to shadow Valerie and see her in action. Valerie gave me the tools to be organized and prepared when working with brides and vendors. Every time a new problem or question arose, Valerie was there to walk me through how to best deal with the situation. I feel that she has prepared me to enter the wedding planning world on my own. -Michelle Dickerson, A Perfect Plan Wedding Consulting, Llc
I was surprised to learn just how much time is involved and what it really takes to be a wedding coordinator. It is nothing like your wedding. Valerie is a great mentor, and I love how she pours her knowledge into her consultants. -Jessica Thompson, Beautifully Divine Events, Llc
This is a FANTASTIC course and extremely helpful! I am very much like you; I have experience planning my own wedding and some weddings/events for friends and family. This course has helped shape my business and answered so many questions about what to do, when to do it, and how. Valerie has included a ton of surprise bonus material and workbooks to help you navigate through each section and all of it directly applies to your business. I highly recommend you enroll! -Nikki Lancou
This course is a wonderful resource for new wedding coordinators! Want to start your business and not sure exactly how to get started? Take this course! Valerie walks you through all the details. As an added bonus, this course includes multiple templates and spreadsheets/documents that will help you and your bride get organized. I am so thankful I was able to get this course under my belt; I feel I have learned and grown as a wedding planner! -Mia Kartsonis
As a Wedding Coordinator, I searched high and low for a course that taught & went in depth about coordination, rather than full-service planning, and I’m so thankful I met Valerie to introduce me to this course! This course can be very beneficial to more seasoned wedding planners who want to refine their skills, or newer planners who want to invest in their education. Her email templates and downloadable documents are a HUGE bonus & incredibly helpful! -Courtney Florey
